A graphic book review image for *The Faraway Forest: Hester’s Big Dream* by Debbie Fong. The design has a textured teal background with a large title reading “Bookmarked! Review” at the top. On the left is the book cover featuring Hester, an owl character, inside a forest setting. The graphic includes a 5-star rating and review highlights. Text around the image reads: “A cozy story about friendship, belonging & being yourself,” “I’d say: 5/5,” and “Perfect for Emerging Readers.” The “Why It Works” section highlights that it is a gentle story about friendship and belonging, uses a graphic novel format perfect for emerging readers, and encourages readers to embrace what makes them unique. The “From the book” section explains that Hester is a night owl searching for friends in a forest where everyone seems awake at different times and learns that staying true to yourself helps you find meaningful friendships. The overall design is warm, whimsical, and focused on early readers, friendship, and self-acceptance.

A scrapbook-style book review graphic for Role Model by Elle McNicoll. The design features a crumpled white paper background with colorful decorative doodles, a hand holding a pink marker, and a pair of headphones. The title "book review" appears at the top in large, playful lettering. In the center is the book cover for Role Model, showing an illustrated girl with the title covering her eyes. Surrounding the cover are sticky notes highlighting key takeaways: "Authentic portrayal of autism," "Strong themes of identity & friendship," and "Hopeful and empowering message."

The overall tone is bright, creative, and inviting.
